Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team (GITT)

The Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team (GITT), housed at the College of Nursing at New York University, is an affiliate of the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing.

In May 1995, The Trustees of The John A. Hartford Foundation, Inc., created an innovative $10 million Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training (GITT) initiative to improve the care of elders by enhancing the interdisciplinary training of health professions students and professionals.

Recognizing that health trainees receive little, if any, explicit instruction on team work, the Foundation’s Trustees sought to develop prototypes of geriatric team training that could be tested and then disseminated throughout the country. The GITT program continues the Foundation’s tradition of reshaping health professions training to meet the demographic imperatives of the 21st century.
